1. INTRODUCTION
This specification covers the requirements for application of Terminal Block Stacking Connectors. The
complete line consists of one–piece side entry, angled entry, and top entry printed circuit (pc) board terminal
blocks and plug connectors with mating right–angle or vertical mount pc board headers. PC board headers are
offered with either open and closed ends, and also in double–row configurations. These terminal blocks feature
screw clamp contacts that accept wire sizes 0.03–4 mm
2
(solid), or 0.03–2.5 mm
2
(stranded). Wire entry is
perpendicular to the screws. They are available in configurations of 2.54, 3.5, 3.81, 5, 5.08, 7.5, 7.62, 10, or
10.16 mm contact centerline spacings.
Side entry wire, angled entry wire, and top entry wire pc board mount terminal blocks (only 5, 5.08, 7.5, and
7.62 mm pitch), as well as the pc board mating header (only 5, 5.08 mm pitch, open–ended, or unshrouded)
are stackable end–to–end without loss of centerline. Ease of assembly is facilitated, in most versions, by
built–in interlocks on the housing.
When corresponding with Tyco Electronics Personnel, use the terminology provided on this specification to
help facilitate your inquiry for information. Basic terms and features of components are provided in Figure 1.

2.5. Manuals
Manual 402–40 is available upon request and can be used as a guide in soldering. This manual provides
information on various flux types and characteristics along with the commercial designation and flux removal
procedures. A checklist is included in the manual as a guide for information on soldering problems.
3. REQUIREMENTS
3.1. Materials
Terminal Block Stacking Connectors are made of UL 94V–0 rated PA–66.
3.2. Storage
A. Ultraviolet Light
Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet light may deteriorate the chemical composition used in the pc board jack
connector material.
B. Shelf Life
The jack connectors are packaged and shipped in protective anti–static tube or tray containers. To prevent
damage to these connectors, they should remain in the container until ready for installation. Also, to
prevent possible storage contamination, the connectors should be used on a first in, first out basis.
C. Chemical Exposure
Do not store jack connectors near any chemical listed below as they may cause stress corrosion cracks in
the connector.
Alkalies
Amines
3.3. Polarization
Ammonia
Carbonates
Citrates
Nitrites
Phosphates Citrates
Sulfur Nitrites
Sulfur Compounds
Tartrates
Design configuration prevents plug and receptacle connectors from being mated incorrectly.
3.4. PC Board Layout
A. Single Connector
Use a pc board with a nominal thickness of 1.6–2.4 mm. See Figure 2. Customer drawings provide a
complete definition of pc board layout.

B. Stacked Connectors
PC board mount connectors with 5, 5.08, 7.5, and 7.62 mm pitch; or headers with 5 and 5.08 mm pitch
can be stacked end–to–end without loss of centerline spacing to create the required position size. Ease of
assembly if facilitated in most versions by interlocking features. The 5 and 5.08 mm pitch open–ended
headers are designed for stacking applications. However, those with closed ends are not. See Figure 3.

3.5. Wire Selection, Preparation, and Installation
A. Selection
The connectors will accept wires with conductors of the sizes defined in Figure 4.
B. Strip Length
The wire must be stripped to the proper dimension to ensure correct insertion depth in the connector.
Excessive conductor will be exposed if the strip length is too long and entrapment of the insulation or
improper termination will result if the strip length is too short. See Figure 4.
C. Installation
Two screwdrivers must be used to open and close the screw clamps. The wire must be inserted into the
wire hole until the insulation is even with the housing at the wire hole opening. The screw must be hand
tightened with the proper screwdriver to within the torque provided in Figure 4. Pull back on the wire to be
sure it is secure and check there are no wire strands outside the terminal block.

3.6. Physical Characteristics
The terminal block connectors consist of specially designed screw–activated mechanisms that are captivated
inside the housing. When stripped wire is inserted into the connector and the screw is tightened, the screw
activates a clamp which compresses the wire against the terminal. See Figure 5.

3.7. Soldering
NOTE
Stripped Wire
Manual 402-40 provides some guidelines for establishing soldering practices. Refer to Paragraph 2.5, Manuals.
i
A. Fluxing
The contact solder tails and, if applicable, attaching hardware must be fluxed prior to soldering with a
mildly active, rosin base flux. Selection of the flux will depend on the type of pc board and other
components mounted on the board. Additionally, the flux must be compatible with the wave solder line,
manufacturing, health, and safety requirements. Call the Product Information number at the bottom of
page 1 for consideration of other types of flux. Some fluxes that are compatible with these connectors are
provided in Figure 6.
